2 Introduction to the Navico Broadband radar system
What is Broadband radar?
The Navico Broad band radar uses FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar
technology
What is FMCW?
FMCW radar is different:
in
ar
The current normal leisure radar generates microwave pulses with a thermionic device called a
magnetron. This ancient technology sends out bursts of high power microwave energy
periodically, and the radar detector listens to the echoes coming back from each pulse. As the
radar rotates these echoes are built into a 360 degree image.
Firstly it is solid state – i.e. the transmitter is a semiconductor device, not based on thermoinic
valve technology.
Secondly it transmits continuously, not in pulses and thirdly it measures the time of the echo
not by listening to a received pulse but by varying the frequency of the transmitted signal and
detecting the shift in frequency in the received echo. Hence FMCW – Frequency Modulated
Continuous Wave.
The building up of the image over 360 degrees and the processing of the radar data is the same
as for a magnetron radar.
Pr
el
im
How does FMCW radar work?
FMCW = Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave
The scanner transmits a ‘rising tone’ (Tx wave) with linear increasing frequency. The wave
propagates out from the transmitter retaining the frequency it had when it was transmitted. If it
reflects off an object, it will return to the receiver, still at the frequency it had when originally
transmitted.
Meanwhile the transmitter continues to output an increasing frequency
Introduction to the Navico Broadband radar system | 5
The difference in the currently transmitted and currently received frequencies, coupled with the
known rate of frequency increase, allows a time of flight to be calculated, from which distance is
calculated
Benefits of FMCW radar
Safer
• low energy emissions, similar to a cell phone
•
more flexibility in placement on boat
•
can run in anchorages and marinas
Short range performance
• Conventional radars can not see anything closer than 30 meters
•
FMCW can see within a few meters of the boat
•
See the objects that pose the greatest threat to your boat
in
ar
Low power
• expands market to small boats and yachts
•
easier install, lighter cabling
•
great for yachts on ocean passage
Instant power-up
• Conventional radars take 2-3 minutes to heat up the filament: Safety – 2 minutes is a long
time if you are concerned about collision
Convenience – switch it on and use it

Radar system overview
The Navico Broadband radar is a state of the art navigation aid providing outstanding radar
performance with out the limitations of conventional pulse radars such as dangerous high power
microwaves, Standby warm up time, high power consumption and large open arrays which is
what would be required to obtain the same image quality at shorter ranges . The Navico
Broadband radar as an effective range from 1/16 to 24 nm. and has an operating power
consumption of 17 W.
The system consists of radar scanner, an interface box and a interconnection cable. The scanner
is housed in a dome on is of similar size to most 2 kW radars on the market.
in
ar
The interface box is used to connect displays and heading information. There are two models
(RI-10 and RI-11) depending on the display system used the main difference being one has a
SimNet connector for heading input (RI-10). The other interface box (RI-11) has a connector to
interface to RS422 displays and NMEA 0183 heading sensors. both interface boxes have a
Network connector to interface to Ethernet displays.
Note Lowrance HDS units sold in the USA do not require an interface box and the scanner
connects directly to the display or ethernet switch

•
configuring the display or network system to work with the radar
•
adjusting the radar for proper performance
Don't take any shortcuts, and follow these instructions carefully!
This section explains how to:
• choose the correct location for the scanner
install the scanner on a power boat or a yacht
•

NEED A BREAK DOWN OF KITS AND UNDER LYING PARTS
8 | Install the radar
Choose the scanner location
The radar's ability to detect targets depends greatly on the position of its scanner. The ideal
location for the scanner is high above the vessel's keel line where there are no obstacles.
A higher installation position increases the radar ranging distance, but it also increases the
minimum range around the vessel where targets cannot be detected.
When you're deciding on the location, consider the following:
• the length of the interconnection cable supplied with your radar is usually sufficient. If you
think you'll need a longer cable, consult your dealer before installation, because a longer
cable may reduce the performance of the radar.
if the roof of the wheelhouse is the highest existing location, consider installing a radar mast
or a pedestal on which you can mount the scanner. You may also need to construct a
working platform for your own safety during installation and servicing work.
•
if you mount the scanner on a pedestal or base, ensure that rain and sea spray can drain
away from it rapidly.
•
if you locate the scanner on the mast, position it on the forward side so that there is a clear
view to the front of the vessel.
•
the scanner is usually installed parallel to the line of the keel.
•
ensure that the location site provides the scanner with a clear view of the front of the vessel.
in
ar
•
DON'T DO THIS!
• DON'T install the scanner too high up, where its weight will alter the stability of the vessel
and cause degradation of the radar picture over short ranges.
DON'T install the scanner close to lamps or exhaust outlets. The heat emissions may
damage the dome. Soot and smoke will degrade the performance of the radar.
•
DON'T install the scanner close to the antennas of other equipment such as direction finders,
VHF antennas, GPS equipment and so on, because it may cause interference.
•
DON'T install the scanner where a large obstruction (such as an exhaust stack) is at the
same level as the beam, because the obstruction is likely to generate false echoes and/or
shadow zones.
•
DON'T install the scanner where it will be subjected to strong vibrations (such as a derrick
post) because these vibrations will degrade the performance of the radar.

Mounting the scanner
•
Use the supplied mounting template and tape it securely to the chosen location site.
•
Before drilling, check that:
you have oriented the mounting template correctly so that the front of the scanner
unit will face the front of the vessel
the location site is not more than 15 mm (0.6") thick. If the location site is thicker use
longer bolts
Note: The bolts supplied are M8 x 30 mm x 4. If you need to use longer bolts make sure they
are 304 stainless steel and allow for 15 mm (0.6") of thread contact
the location site allows the drain hole to empty.
•
Drill the four holes where shown.
•
Remove the mounting template,
•
Connect the scanner interconnection cable (see "Connect the Broadband radar to your
display" page 16)
•
Position the scanner carefully over the bolt holes so that they are aligned
•
Place a spring washer then a plain washer onto each bolt, as shown.
•
Screw each bolt into each drill hole from the under side of the location site, and tighten
securely

Mounting the radar interface box
Install the radar interface box in a dry location away from spray, rain, drips and
condensation.
•
The radar processor must be located where it can be easily connected to the ship's
ground, the scanner interconnection cable, a power source and the display or display
network.
•
Allow enough room for cables to form a drip loop.
•
Preferably mount the radar interface box on a vertical surface with cables exiting
downwards.
•
Secure to the surface using the four mounting points

Connect interconection cable to the scanner
The scanner interconnection cable connects the scanner to the RI-10 or RI-11 interface box (or
Lowrance HDS U.S only). The cable connects to the scanner using a 14 pin connector.
Insert cable connector on to the male 14 pin plug on the scanner. take care to align the
connector correctly to avoid bending the pins. Secure the locking collar by rotating clockwise

The radar system can operate on voltages of 9-32 V DC. The system requires a (+ V DC) to be
applied to the yellow remote power on wire in order to operate. This can be achieved by one of
three ways.
•
Common the red and yellow wires together. Radar will power on when power is applied
•
Install a switch that will provide power to the yellow wire. Radar will turn on when switch
is activated
•
Connect to the yellow wire to a the external wake up of a suitable display. Radar will turn
on when display is turned on
For systems using a radar interface box
•
Connect the red wire to power positive 9-32 V DC. Use a 5 amp fuse or breaker
•
Connect the yellow wire to power source that will turn on the system (see above)
